ClearSky’s Technology Partner, Shush, was named 2025 Platinum Winner for
Communications API Solution Innovation by Juniper Research at Mobile World Congress
Orlando, FL, April ___, 2025 – ClearSky Technologies, a leading provider of network management solutions and Cellular One of Northeast Arizona have joined forces to combat SIM Swapping attacks for their customers by implementing ClearSky’s SNAP (Silent Network Authentication Platform) service.
SIM swapping is a rapidly escalating cybercrime, with reported cases and financial losses rising sharply over the past five years. The trend is driven by data breaches, weak carrier security, and the lucrative nature of the crime. Both individuals and organizations are at risk, and the threat is expected to continue growing unless stronger security measures are implemented.
“The rising incidents and financial impact of SIM Swapping in the U.S. must be aggressively deterred,” said Ron Willett, VP and General Manager of ClearSky Technologies. “ClearSky offers both a formidable solution, and a commercial model that generates revenue for carriers. And, most importantly, we allow our carriers to implement SNAP on their own timeline.
SIM swapping involves fraudsters impersonating victims to convince mobile carriers to transfer the victim’s phone number to a SIM card under the fraudster’s control. This grants access to calls, texts, and often two-factor authentication codes, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive accounts.
“Unfortunately, SIM Swapping scams have made industry headlines with victims collectively losing millions of dollars and carriers being sued for extraordinary sums,” said Judd Hinkle, CEO of Smith Bagley, Inc, DBA Cellular One. “We recognize the severity and scope of the problem which is why we have expanded our relationship with ClearSky. Using their SNAP services enables us to insulate our subscribers from fraudsters with nefarious intentions.”
“SIM Swapping is being perpetrated by fraudsters worldwide and needs to be comprehensively addressed by the industry as a whole,” said Eddie DeCurtis, CEO & Co-Founder of Shush. “We view ClearSky as the premier network connectivity hub to many dozens of MNOs in North America and the Caribbean. As such, with our award-winning platform Network Authentication solution and ClearSky’s market reach we can quickly provide comprehensive best-in-class, anti-fraud protection to an ever-growing number of cellular customers.”
